    don't let them tell you it is Mountjoy Square - they just don't want to admit that it is in Portland Row.

    Carlow RTC

    Does anyone remember them? There were only about a dozen of them back then scattered around the country, then education became less exclusive and they were called IT's and every small town got one!

    Eternal Students or some people just can't decide what to do so do a number of degrees.

    That's fine, I'm a lecturer myself. But at least progress to a masters, then maybe phd or whatever. A love of learning needs to be supplemented with a bit of pragmatism

    I suppose that would be the obvious progression and it seems strange that they didn't follow this line of progression. Also the degrees do seem very unrelated except for maybe the accounting and actuary.

    I'm one of those people who has a love of learning and a number of degrees to my name, started with computer science and mathematics, then business and finance, and I'm currently doing a degree course in social care. I think the more pragmatic approach would be to learn enough to be useful, and progressing to a masters or phd level would've been more than I had actually needed because my objective was always more from a personal development perspective rather than a career development perspective.

    Basically if I liked the idea of something, I knew what I had to do to make the most of the opportunity and that usually involved upskilling or educating myself in that field, and that meant going back to university or college or a private course. I consider the money spent on my education a long term investment, so I would say I certainly take a more pragmatic view to education than someone who progresses to a masters or phd level and then doesn't utilize their education to exploit their full potential.
